SSD with Windows 10 placed into new PC for booting

[SiRSiLeNTHeLL]

So I recently bought a new ssd. I reinstalled windows 10 on it and it works fine.

 

This ssd change was the first step to a new PC.

 

I was wondering what would happen when I put the new ssd with windows 10 into the new PC.

 

Can I get any licensing problems ? Do I just have to reinstall windows again ? Does windows even care that all PC parts changed ?

So it could go either well or fail really miserably. I personally do not recommend doing that, and just doing a clean reimage when you are putting it into a new build just in case. You shouldn't have a licensing issue with it being on the drive/ if you used the media tool. IIRC

A clean install is highly recommended to avoid the myriads of possible issues.

Yeah I could not agree more.

If you  remove the drivers before swapping it will probably be ok, but you never know. A fresh isntall is usually the safest option. Either way you are most likely going to have to re activate windows if you are using a new cpu and motherboard. I just put in my old windows 8 key and it took it no problems.
